[00:00.00] 作曲 : Cave
[00:01.00] 作词 : Cave
[00:11.68] They found Mary Bellows cuffed to the bed
[00:16.86] With a rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
[00:20.68] O poor Mary Bellows
[00:31.07] She'd grown up hungry, she'd grown up poor
[00:36.15] She left her home in Arkansas
[00:41.65] O poor Mary Bellows
[00:52.52] She wanted to see the deep blue sea
[00:57.71] She travelled across Tennessee
[01:03.40] O poor Mary Bellows
[01:13.15] She met a man along the way
[01:18.03] He introduced himself as Richard Slade
[01:24.84] O poor Mary Bellows
[01:34.21] Poor Mary thought that she might die
[01:39.09] When she saw the ocean for the first time
[01:42.09] O poor Mary Bellows
[01:54.22] She checked into a cheap little place
[01:59.09] Richard Slade carried in her old suitcase
[02:05.59] O poor Mary Bellows
[02:15.08] "I'm a good girl, sir", she said to him
[02:18.95] I couldn't possibly permit you in
[02:21.58] O poor Mary Bellows
[02:25.58]
[02:34.62] Slade tipped his hat and winked his eye
[02:39.37] And turned away without goodbye
[02:45.93] O poor Mary Bellows
[02:54.55] She sat on her bed and thought of home
[02:59.56] With the sea breeze whistling all alone
[03:02.56] O poor Mary Bellows
[03:16.18] In hope and loneliness she crossed the floor
[03:22.12] And undid the latch on the front door
[03:26.75] O poor Mary Bellows
[03:30.06] They found her the next day cuffed to the bed
[03:40.14] A rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
[03:52.07] O poor Mary Bellows
[03:57.02] So mothers keep your girls at home
[04:02.71] Don't let them journey all alone
[04:07.77] Tell them this world is full of danger
[04:12.02] And to shun the company of strangers
[04:16.52] O poor Mary Bellows
[04:26.89] O poor Mary Bellows
